The Thalmor

The Thalmor are a branch of the Aldmeri Dominion and they operate in Skyrim from Northwatch keep and the Thalmor Embassy. Their main goals in skyrim are to kill the remaining blades, affect the civil war, and to investigate the dragons returning.

Their original intention for settling in skyrim was to enforce the ban on the worship of Talos, a god of the nords, but they have also affected skyrim in other ways such as planting a advisor in the college of Winterhold.
